Well....Addy is a month old now! Man time flies!

We took her for her month old check up and she got a shot :(. Man she didn't like that. You can see her little bandage in one of the photos.

I added a 35L to my collection of lens. This is a little gem of a lens for Family Photo Journalism.

I continue to work on my studio project. I am using paint poles from Home Depot to build telescopic light stands. They sit in a PVC pipe that is encased in concrete. Makes for a cheap strong stand. I am then using a couple conduit pieces to connect the light poles to the shop lights. I am going to play around with florescent lights and sypder lights. I will take some more pics as I move along with the project.

Well...I am starting a new project. Building a "studio" in my garage. It will be based off of Zack Arias's set up as seen here: http://www.zarias.com/white-seamless-tutorial-part-1-gear-space/
So far I have the bi-fold doors painted and I am building some DIY light stands. Here are a couple pics:

So...it's been awhile...

I really need to come here more.

What can I say? It has been a whirl wind these last couple weeks....

My wife and I had a baby on the 24th of June. Addison Rae has been our main focus since. She is a little angel so far. Can't believe she is 3 weeks old already. Man time flies.

As far as photography goes, I have been shooting in a new style. Well a new style to me. If you know me, then you know I hang out on http://www.fredmiranda.com/. I think it is a pretty cool photo site. I love the people section and there I found a guy doing Family Style PJ (Photo journalism) type of shooting. I went to his site: http://www.thefamilyphotojournalist.blogspot.com/ and fell in love. So I decided before Addy was born that I wanted to do a project like this on my own.

This is what I have so far:


#1 - Welcome to the world Addison Rae



#2 - Let's get your weight.



#3 - Meeting the grandparents.



#4 - Let's show the family little Addy.



#5 - Getting a little food.



#6 - Getting some much needed rest.



#7 - Mom showing her off to big sis.



#8 - Tagged to make sure you take the right baby home.



#9 - Going home.



#10 - It's a girl.



#11 - Meeting Kendy.



#12 - Catching up with family out of state.



#13 - Addy's new bed.



#14 - Awww...nice to be home.



Lots more to come!!!!!
